Braun
On Thursday, U.S. Senator Mike Braun (R-Ind.) called on Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to resign or be impeached, slamming what Braun calls the Biden administration’s dereliction of duty of the southern border crisis.
“He has been purposely detached from this because it’s coming from the White House and it started immediately after Biden got elected,” Sen. Braun said. “By the way, I think he ought to resign immediately or be impeached. I mean that is dereliction of the worst kind and this has been happening for months.”
There have been 2 million illegal immigrants stopped at the border and 600,000 “gotaways” this year. A total of 169 people on the terrorist watchlist were stopped by Border Patrol, and Secretary Mayorkas could not say how many got through, or if Hamas terrorists were in the country.
Last week, Sen. Braun joined a group of Republican senators in a letter to President Biden expressing concern over the 169 people on the terror watchlist stopped at the border and calling on Biden to take action to reinstate the border policies of the Trump administration.
The White House has not responded.
